Symgery Information

OSSimTech Inc, a Montreal based hi-tech company, specializes in the design, research & development of virtual reality (VR) based open surgery training simulators for medical students and residents. The company puts emphasis on developing the best products and this is supported by every member of OSSimTech’s growing team. Founded in 2013 by two ambitious and experienced engineers, OSSimTech now leads the path in high fidelity simulation. Our products are the first simulators, commercially available, to offer haptic feedback in surgery training simulation in orthopedics. OSSimTech puts a special emphasis on collaborating with all the healthcare stakeholders to develop high quality products. Our 3D artists attend live surgeries to develop realistic environments, engineers develop procedures in partnership with orthopedic surgeons and performance metrics are reviewed by the medical community. In addition, OSSimTech is supported by several institutions who bring their expertise and experience to our organization. The technology platform of OSSimTech has been developed to provide practical training that mimics the real open surgical environment. To do this, using dedicated software, it provides sensory feedback on visual, audio and touch levels depending on the selected surgical procedure. OSSimTech simulators combine in one device the visual display of surgical sites in open surgeries and the use of haptic force feedback actuators that can be mounted on instruments for open surgery (screwdrivers, rongeurs, drills, saws, etc.). This results in a unique and innovative training solution: the Sim-Ortho™.
